Another trip to Portland and another restaurant to try out, we love eating in Portland. I have done two posts already about this city – Portland Paleo and Portland Paleo II from last year’s trips. We headed to Portland last weekend to go look at a dog and decided to try something new. Originally I was going to just head to Brooklyn House but felt it was better to explore. Tasty & Sons had been recommended to us by a friend and their menu had potential but it was one the other side of the river so I found Tasty & Alder which is just a block away from our hotel in the Pearl District and looked to be very Paleo friendly.

Redmond Watershed Half Marathon
Three years ago I ran my last half marathon, at the Redmond Watershed in fact, in 1:54:40 which was a PR for me on a trail half. Right after that half I got injured which wouldn’t heal and then I got SIBO which took forever to heal so three years later I was finally ready to run another half marathon. The Watershed was the perfect place to do this since it is one of the easier courses around and doesn’t have too much elevation with only 1100′ of gain, I often do that in a 4-5 mile run at Tiger.
End of one season, getting ready for the next
It has been a grueling winter here in the PNW, the wettest on record and the rivers have been blown out not only locally but also on the Eastside where one can usually go fish by March and have great conditions. I had my last pheasant hunting trip at the end of February with friends Mike & Carolina and their dog Penny and we managed to get a few birds but even the pheasants were in a weird mood. I pulled off a cast & blast that day hitting the river after the hunt and managed to catch a couple of trout to go with the two roosters I got, one of them a 17″ rainbow and a decent cutthroat. This was the last day the Yak was in decent barely fishable condition.
